Chords

[Intro] Am | / / / G | C / / / | Am / / / | C / / / | [Verse 1]
C                            Am
They sell their lies by the bottle

C                    Am
Without an ounce of shame

F                       C
A promise on a slip of paper

E7                     Am
Guaranteed to dull the pain
[Verse 2]
F                         C
We dug that mine a mile below us

F                     C     E7
And built up this little town

F                    C           E7
Oh and we're still digging holes

Am
But these are six feet down
[Chorus]
C                        F
There's coal under the mountains

C                      G       E
And gold in them there pills

F                       C   E7
If living here don't kill you

              Am
The medicine will
[Verse 3]
C                    Am
Well these are good God-fearing people

C                       Am
Just doing the best they can

F                         C
And if the devil's in the details

E7              Am
Then hell's in milligrams
[Verse 4]
F                G      C
For every family visitation

F                        C       E7
Sons and daughters gone too soon

F                      C
The drugstore and the undertaker

E7                         Am
The only businesses that boom
[Chorus]
C                        F
There's coal under the mountains

C                      G       E
And gold in them there pills

F                       C   E7
If living here don't kill you

              Am
The medicine will
[Solo] Am C Am C Am F G [Bridge]
C                               Am
Now it's all broken dreams and plywood

C                          Am
Up and down these haunted streets

F                          C
Even the bar where we all used to go

E7                        Am
I guess even whiskey can't compete
[Pre Chorus]
F                       C
But I believe way down below us

F                 C          E7
Deeper than that mine shaft runs

F                              C
There's a place for those who did this to us

E         E7              Am       G
And it's hotter than the sun
[Chorus]
C                        F
There's coal under the mountains

C                      G       E
And gold in them there pills

F                       C   E7
If living here don't kill you

              Am
The medicine will
[Outro] C Am C
